Oakland and Berkeley’s Restaurant Weeks begin Jan. 14 and run through the end of the month. Over 100 restaurants across the region are participating this year.
The socially conscious coffee company is off and running after a successful crowdfunding campaign; it also takes over Blue Bottle’s coveted farmers market spot in Berkeley.
The popularity of Swan’s Market, built in 1917, has waxed and waned over the years, but now, with popups and a wave of new restaurants, it’s most definitely in.
It may have only just opened, but already the lunch lines are long at Miss Ollie’s in Old Oakland. People, it seems, are craving the gourmet Caribbean food served up there.
New Caribbean joint Miss Ollie’s opens in Oakland, Assemble going into BoilerHouse space in Richmond, and Paul Canales about to open Duende. Food news, in Bites.
